Reached out to Mac Plastering regarding advice on plaster crazing (broken ice look only when wet) on my external nap finished house. My plasterer said no hollow sound and paint will cover it. However an alternative and probably a permanent solution to fix that is to apply a silicone render over it as this video shows. This video tutorial is definately helpful to plasterers out there. Thanks for all your advice.

Very good video! No posturing, just honest display of your working process. A couple of things, if I may suggest. At around 7min, when you finished the application and before commencing on rubbing it down with the plastic trowel, if you had applied another horizontal line underneath, you would have kept a wet edge better. Also, if you happen to wreck a whole wall very badly, say on a hot sunny day working alone, you leave it till the next day. Then do the whole wall again. There's no need to prime it. Silicone render has already become very popular. It's easy to apply, it goes thinly, it may be expensive, but overall not that much more than a monocouche, the latter is applied much thicker, so it takes more material. Silicone is better hydrophobic than other render. I've done silicon and monocouche side by side and you can clearly see the difference when it rains. All the best!

Temps and sun make it dry very quick and nightmare in the sun. If you don't know Brisvagas it never goes below 20' c for 8 months of the year.

Do plenty of rendering mainly k rend scraped but when ever I have done thin coat, i have always had the top cost acrylic on more like a skim coat, your giving yourself more work by putting it on 0.5 of a mill as the air sets it off quicker, put it on 1.5mm level off and get the spat or steel speed skim over it, so hp12 base and mesh then a tight coat of hp12 over the top flattened and rubbed back to get it flat, coloured primer over the top of that preventing seeing any base coat throu the top coat and top coat as stated above but of that works for you keep to it, we all have our ways
@macplastering 2 жыл бұрын
rendering is hard work for sure I like my methods yes its hard to get on tight but you know your giving it a great chance to fully set need to be carful putting on to thin as heavy areas might not set in the centre, but yes if it works for you keep at it mate . dont you find putting on so thick you lose jobs due to the price of this gear being so expensive ? like i have seen it at 60 quid a bucket if it going on at less than 0.5 then im saving a lot that way compared to 1.5 thats a lot on big jobs your putting on 3 times the gear if that makes sense

@macplastering 3 жыл бұрын
I have used both webber and k rend acrylic not much difference between the 2 ramboo tools also sell it and hear its a little nice to spread but never had a go on it myself, when you start a wall you can stop its a live joint that needs to be kept going otherwise it will tear as it starts to set and you try to apply more I find trying to scrap it on so tight while keeping the edges wet and finishing and coating pretty hard work others might find it better and have better ways than myself, I will possibly one day do my own house only a bungalow and will not be doing that alone , The cost of the gear if a mistake is to happen is worth asking for help and paying a mate to help coat

@macplastering 3 жыл бұрын
Would most likely depend on shape of wall as in, if its hand high but long one man could robs get it but be tired after for sure when you start you cant stop as the joints can tear when it starts to set / take up but if it was me doing it I would set the buckets all up where i needed them as in mix them up and set lid on lose then set them in the areas needed making sure I go over the top as to not run out anywhere hope this helps you brother ?Thanks for watching and commenting

@@franksexton4083 Joe is my name :) But yes some guys ike lime they think it makes it more workable and sets the gear of better , if you use plastazicer you shouldn't need it , also some say not to use both , if you put to much lime in it will be a very soft wall even when it sets , this was done with pre mixed gear so no idea on its mix really the builders dropped it of for use , but yes 1st coat should been 3 to 1 or 4 to 1 then the second coat should have been weaker again but it was full of plastazier as it didnt set very fast at all even the end of the day the gear at bottom of tube was very soft and thats not usual as at the bottom of most tubes it gets very stiff

Hi Mac. Doing my first job with silicone render. Not realy a plasterer but can do some. First small wall was in the sun and dried fast. Second wall today went well but drizzle and showers came in and it would not go off so had to cover. Two bigger walls to go and as i am on my own and dont even know anyone who could help. Can you put another coat on if the worst comes to it. The mayo weather is not realiable. Thanks for showing
